Snowmotion.
After just nipping out to take a few sample shots with a Sigma 10-20mm lens, I ended up muddy-kneed and crouched for a good hour capturing a bunch of Snowdrops on continuous shooting.
I chucked a selection of sequences into After Effects, chopped and scaled, tweaked some colour and came out with this:
Music is from Sherbethead.
Son of a pitch…
Here’s a couple of illustrations that were used for a pitch last year.
The concept and character designs were all totally changed but we secured the job and created a 30 second Flash advertisement for a document mail-out company that should hopefully be airing on Sky News in the next couple of months.
As of late.
Here’s a still from a motion graphics sequence I’m hoping to learn from, thrive in, continue with and maybe even complete…
On the same note, I need to stick to projects and see them through before starting another.
If anyone fancies a bunch of half finished projects to tidy up…… piss off.
Th1ngymajig.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have spent the past 3 weeks or so at the amazing Th1ng in Soho.
They really have their work ethics nailed there and are pumping out constantly impressive work. I got to work with some great people and see some familiar faces whilst trying to remain focused and fully in-my-depth.
It was awesome working in a Flash team and seeing how others use the program, even though my time in London meant I missed all possible chances to frolick in the Northern snow. Snow’s rubbish in London, if they did skiing holidays down there, I’d steer clear. It snows on a Tuesday and anything possibly closable will still be closed on the Saturday.
Well, Maestro got their ad and I got sent home. So it’s back to personal projects until anyone fancies funding anyfing faintly formidably fun for me.
I think it was Jeremy Beadle who once said “I can’t think of anything to say, I really can’t”.
Then he died.
Studmotion.
Fleeting Shards.
After a recent move to the country I’ve been trying to make use of all the nice houses around.
After doing a few of these cards for people, I decided to try and get the whole village on board and see how many houses I can get drawn before Christmas! With their very own custom Christmas cards, they can show off while I try and keep creative…

If you know anyone with a nice enough house, let me draw it!
Kenny’s A Calling.
Unable to steer clear and remain unaffected by the King of Pop’s death, I was once again whisked off one job to slip another in!
Can’t complain mind; again Mr Kenny was calling upon my liney flashy tracey skills for some motion graphics sequences for the ITN DVD release ‘Michael Jackson : History – The King of Pop 1958 – 2009′.
Fortunate enough to earn my first DVD credits, back on to Eel Shock now!
Jacket Potatoes.
After finally starting a personal project I’d been planning for a while, I was fortunate enough to be asked to work on the next big Electric Eel Shock release. In conjunction with David Kenny, we’re hoping to get a killer animated intro to their DVD release, ‘Sex, Drugs & Email’.
Whilst this project is under way, my personal work will be on hold. Here’s a shot from the animation I was creating to one of the great Grandma Patty calls from the Waller FM podcasts…
